[10:09] Launchpad bug 1903774 in kpmcore (Ubuntu) "kpmcore 4.1.0: CVE-2020-27187" [Undecided,New] [10:31] stikonas: if you could provide some steps to test/verify the fix the fix, that would help [10:31] oops, too many fixes [10:43] well, the service was completely rewritten, so you can just check if files move to the new location e.g. now kpmcore_externalcommandhelper should be in libexec/ dir instead of libexec/kauth/.
